So, as i said on my first post, i am a total buyaholic and even worse in the sales!
So from today......100 days without spending on beauty.....ouch. Going to be painful for me, as those who know me will know!!
I am allowing myself swops to be allowed, as its not really spending, just swopping items i already have for something that i would be able to use! (My excuse and sticking to it, lol!!).

So the rules. As Sarah wrote, i too will keep to these rules:

NO LATTES/HOT CHOCOLATES/TEA/SOUP/SANDWICHES/MUFFINS/CAKES/ETC from Caffe Nero!!!!!! NO EXCEPTIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ABSOLUTELY NO BUYING ONLINE NO MAKE-UP, NO NOTHING!! I HAVE ENOUGH!!!!!!!

NO BUYING MAKE UP FROM BOOTS/SUPERDRUG/SUPERMARKETS I MUST WALK BY!!

NO BUYING ANYTHING FOR ANYBODY..............NO EXCEPTIONS!!!

The only exception is the gift cards that i have already to spend on as they need to be spent, lol!!!

i think those are good rules, and i will follow them too!

For each day i do not spend, i will put £5 into my savings/holiday fund and see how i do!

I aim to come here each day and hopefully print "I have not spent anything on Beauty items or Items i do not need".

If i spend, i need to have a penalty.....So if i spend on one day, i need to put double the money into my savings the next day -thus making it harder to spend, more in the savings, and a lesson learnt...i hope.....

Okay, so day one is here.....ive not spent!! LOL!! its 4.30pm on January 1st 2013.

Let the spending challenge begin.....!

OK, as soon as i heard that MUA would have a 50% off sale after they reached 50k likers on Facebook, i knew would be the day i failed, and i admitted it waaaay in advance to those who know me, so i don't feel bad -i saved a whopping 50% on great items, and i know its the only time im going to fall off the wagon that big again, so i know i have to put another £5 in the kitty, but im more than happy to do that penalty and get the great bargains that i did today!!!!

For some reason, i really want to spend some money today...i dont know what it is. Im not feeling great, and i know that something nice coming through the door always cheers me up (well normally, been a wierd couple of weeks where it hasnt)...Ive not spent any. Ive been good, ive actually felt guilty at looking at items.Im not sleeping great, but i was contemplating going to a carboot early in the morning....but ill see how that goes!its interesting to see how everyone elses spending ban is going.

Im not creating new posts for updates, and will just comment on them as i know ill end up confusing myself!!Wish me luck to keep to my ban....im on a knife edge and dont know which way it will fall!!
